KIDD was simulcast on 97.9 until Saul Levine bought the FM and changed the format to country.

They were still Magic 63 and were saluting Doris Day on her birthday. I believe the Magic slogan went there after KFRC had their stint as Magic 61.

The states I have so many from, I keep in frequency order in file folders (Several for CA), I came across KSXO 600 Redding CA tonight. That was before they had the X Bander they are now on (1670). There are so many stations that no longer exist I have QSL's from. A lot of history there in nearly 50 years, coming up in Feb.
